Anybody else look back at those teams and think "thank f**k we didn't go up wit those"? I know that probably sounds stupid, but comparing that team to then we are in a much better position to go up, stay up and progress imo.

Often, mate. The thought of going up with:

Hill
Williams
O'Halloran
Kitson
Porter
Westlake
McEveley

Etc, fills me with dread. I'm glad it took as long, if it means going up in the way we did - as resounding champions with one hell of a squad.
 
Higdon .. un scouted signed on the basis of a YouTube highlights reel submitted by his agent and appointed Captain by the uber genius that was Nigel Clough.

Two years ago this week we sacked Clough. One of the greatest decisions ever taken by Kevin McCabe.
 
I think he's breakdancing... I remember kids doing a similar thing at school in the 80's on an old bit of carpet.

It was Lino not Carpet I will have you know.
I finished 6th in the 1983 Cleckheaton Break dancing championships.
My Kick in was highly commended.

And you look at the side Chessy had playing in that game & think, FFS: better than us.

Darikwa, Morsy, O'Shea, Jimmy Ryan, Daniel Johnson, Gary Roberts, Eoin Doyle...

I know we've had some ropey strikers in the last few years, and have seen a fair few playing against us, but I honestly don't think I've seen a worse professional centre forward than Michael Higdon. Scratching my head trying to think of one, anyhow.
 
I know the answer is obvious but I still can't get my head round why they do it considering they will be outed.

Jones should be red faced even now years on. That numpty at Wendy is better know for diving than being a footballer. Moses on Saturday did it in front of and audience of millions, why. It can be debated he lost them the game.
 

Tempted to give you that one, but, on the basis that Sammon can actually run, I'm sticking with Higdon ;)

I think Higdon probably had some ability a few years before he joined us but his legs had gone when we signed him and would never have been signed if we had had a proper scouting network at the time and not just the Managers Brother and his mates.

Sammon has never and will never ever look anything like a professional footballer.

Hidgson actually did something useful by scoring the late goals to knock MK Plastic out of the league cup in our run to the semi-finals that year, so has to be Sammon

The same brother who spent most of his adult life as a NEWSAGENT :eek:
